WORLD WIDE AUTOMOTIVE
A REMY INTERNATIONAL COMPANY
INCLUDING ON-SITE LEASED WORKERS FROM AXIOM STAFFING
AND KELLY AGENCY
WINCHESTER, VIRGINIA

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance and
Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (19 USC 2273), the Department of Labor herein presents the
results of an investigation regarding certification of eligibility
to apply for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment
Assistance, the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph
(a)(2)(A) or (a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met.
It is determined in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(B) of
Section 222 have been met.
The investigation was initiated on September 16, 2008, in
response to a petition filed by a company official on behalf of
workers of World Wide Automotive, A Remy International Company,
Winchester, Virginia. Workers of the subject firm produce
remanufactured alternators and starters.
The worker group includes on-site leased workers from Axiom
Staffing and Kelly Agency.
The investigation revealed that declines in employment at
World Wide Automotive, A Remy International Company, Winchester,
Virginia, are related to a shift in production of remanufactured
alternators and starters by the firm to a country (Mexico) that is
a party to a free trade agreement with the United States.
In addition, in accordance with Section 246 of the Trade Act
of 1974 (26 USC 2813), as amended, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of its investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for Alternative Trade Adjustment Assistance
(ATAA) for older workers.
In order for the Department to issue a certification of
eligibility to apply for ATAA, the group eligibility requirements
of Section 246 of the Trade Act must be met. The Department has
determined in this case that the requirements of Section 246 have
been met.
A significant number of workers at the firm are age 50 or over
and possess skills that are not easily transferable. Competitive
conditions within the industry are adverse.







Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that there has been a shift in
production from the workers' firm or subdivision to Mexico of
articles that are like or directly competitive with the
remanufactured alternators and starters produced by the subject
firm or subdivision. In accordance with the provisions of the Act,
I make the following certification:
"All workers of World Wide Automotive, A Remy International
Company, including on-site leased workers from Axiom Staffing
and Kelly Agency, Winchester, Virginia, who became totally or
partially separated from employment on or after September 11,
2007 through two years from the date of certification are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible to apply for
alternative trade adjustment assistance under Section 246 of
the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 14th day of October, 2008
